For anyone born in the 1980's, it's almost impossible not to know who He-Man is. The animated adventures of this bulky, blonde-haired warrior were a fixture on TV sets across the country every Saturday morning, and his battles against the villainous Skeletor and the other minions of Eternia are still etched into the minds of diehard fans everywhere.
Now, DC Comics has announced that it will be putting out a brand-new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series written by James Robinson with art by Philip Tan slated for July. This six issue series will reboot the character from the very beginning and recount his transformation from the humble Adam of Eternia into the muscle-bound He-Man. Here is the official description from DC's blog:
"In the new series, Robinson reintroduces the Masters of the Universe to comic readers with Skeletor having won a major victory and rewriting the world of Eternia where he now rules from Castle Grayskull and the Masters have no memory of their former glory. Adam is a simple woodsman haunted by dreams of a heroic warrior, wielding a powerful sword in battle. He is found by a mysterious sorceress who tells him his dreams are of the way the world should be, that he is Eternia's champion He-Man. Adam sets off on a quest to regain his power and reawaken the Masters of the Universe."
